More background on Oscar:

Oscar was born in Parque Patricios, a well-known tango barrio in Buenos
Aires. His parents were avid tango dancers, and, in the 1950's and
'60's, they organized three different milongas per week, which regularly
drew in 400-500 dancers. Oscar was very much influenced by his father,
both by osmosis and discussion. He absorbed the code (codigo) of the
milongueros, and when he eventually decided to take up the dance
seriously, he already had a background and base that was the envy of many.

Oscar has a distinct style both in his dance and his teaching. He is
very milonguero, and is many respected by the old guard in the milongas
of BA. He is also extremely popular with his students, who are impressed
by his teaching style. He teaches with energy and humor, emphasizing
concepts, specializing in improvisation always interpreting the music
and respecting the character of the different orchestras. He is
especially interested in the dynamics and cadencia of the dance.
Everything he teaches is applicable to crowded milongas.
